Guided Ecstatic Movement Journey – A Silent Sound Experience by SedonaDances.com
Explore the body’s potential to move freely in new pathways.
Silent sound headsets will provide an immersive experience as Brandon takes you on a musical journey while Danielle guides using imagery and structured improv techniques to scaffold movement. Gentle cues will be used to introduce a variety of movement qualities that will provide a framework for movers to explore their individual expressions. This experience will give all participants an opportunity to go deeper and be fully immersed in their own exploration while feeling the collective energy of other movers as they share the same intention and dynamics.

Through their sacred union, Danielle and Brandon have combined their gifts, experiences, and passions to enhance the ecstatic dance experience. They are excited to bring silent sound experiences with their company SedonaDances.com, and are so grateful to share their deep love and joy for dance with all.
Brandon Strabala left the financial planning industry over a decade ago to pursue a passion as an artist and has since become a successful artist founding Orgone Knights. Dancing during that time was a huge part of his personal growth and his favorite form of emotional release. After a decade of experimenting with many types of dance and movement, Brandon was fully inspired when he found Ecstatic Dance in Sedona.
It had been a year since his wife had passed which he wrote about in his Self-Published free book and audiobook Dancing Beyond Cancer. That event also led him to host dances every Tuesday on the Sedona Red Rocks in her honor. Since 2018 Sedona has been blessed with that unstoppable foundation for an ever-growing dance community. During that time he created, helped, participated in, and sponsored dance experiences all over Sedona. After attending a Silent Disco event Brandon quickly saw Silent Sound Experiences as the solution the Sedona Dance community needed, not just for late-night sound ordinances, but also for those who have sensitive hearing. Brandon now works with Danielle in the ultimate partnership of free-form and trained dancing. Meeting due to a dance Brandon hosted, the book he wrote, and a more synchronistic story that will one day be written, as it is still in the process of being recorded.
